Andy Irons Fans Rejoice, Your August Comment Of The Month Is…
Geopolitical jousting around the Jack Robinson Olympic board debacle.
“We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry,” wrote the bard William Butler Yeats.
August’s winner comes to us by way of a poignant, poetic, and rhetorically-savvy zinger from one Slipped Disk on this article reporting on the Olympic Committee’s mandate to Jack Robinson to erase the Andy Irons tribute “Rising Sun” artwork on his boards due to the Rising Sun being a symbol of Japan’s empiric actions against Korea and Korean culture (Jack Robinson didn’t know about this lore, obviously):
Slipped Disk’s coy comment was not only a favorite of Stab’s Editor-in-Chief Mikey C., but also a highly-liked quip that started quite the lively back-and-forth.
Slipped, please send us an email at [email protected] with screenshot proof of your Disqus account — you just won a free year of Stab Premium and you will be entered in the running for the mega-prize for “Comment of the Year” at then end of, you guessed it, the year.
If you remember from this article, Slipped Disk will now be one of 12 commenters (one for each month) that will be a candidate for COTY.
They’ll be prosaically fencing against 11 other Vonneguts for top honors and the mega-prize.
